Mr. Martell shot the mid-sized male after his Inuit guide pointed out what looked like a polar bear in the distance. Authorities seized the animal after noticing its polar-bear-white fur was mottled with brown patches, and its eyes were set inside thin circles of black skin. It also bore some distinctly grizzly-like features, including long claws, a humped back and a dished face.

That's interesting!

ETA : Damn, I thought of a better title for this topic. Interracial bear sex!

There's a picture here, albeit not a very good one. The pic I saw in my local paper was a bit better. The bear had dark rings around its' eyes, almost like a raccoon.

(ETA) Dang, posted that before I chased your link. Sorry!

I think it should be shot. Oh, they already did that.

Aha! Polar bears are adapting to global warming by intermarrying to produce cute little brown babies that can sneak up on seals in the desert.


Wait a minute...

Gee, for such a potentially endangered species, you'd think there would be rules against that.

I mean, polar bears are endangered, right?

I am not sure if polar bears are endangered but pretty sure grizzly are. However a hybrid cross would be totally unprotected as far as I know.

Polar Bears are not endangered, and neither are Grizzly's except in the states south of Canada.
